2015 is almost here. Isn’t that crazy?
But before I start going on about how 2014 was an
incredible year (which it was-I went to my dream school, met some amazing
people who love Jesus, grew so much in my relationship with God, am pursuing
the career I dream of, and I have been overall just very blessed this past
year), I want to get into what I was going to talk about—my favorites from this
month. I’ve seen YouTubers do this and I love these videos. Mine, however, will
be in written format. :)
// BEAUTY
Origins
Face Scrub.
I needed a new face scrub, and I was on Sephora’s website
and I needed one more thing to get free shipping… so I splurged. Haha… yeah...
But I am so glad I bought this. I love the fresh fruity scent as well as how well
it works. It scrubs the rough skin off of my face without drying my skin out,
which is a very hard thing to find in a product when it comes to my face.
Beauty
Blender.
I know. I’m late to the party on this one. …Oh well haha.
I had a $20 off of $50 at Sephora and I wanted to get something random that I
hadn’t gotten before... thus this purchase. Wow. I fall into Sephora’s
marketing traps a lot don’t I? Oops. However, I am loving this. But, then again
so does everyone else, it seems, who uses this. I love how well it applies my
foundation or BB cream because it applies enough to cover my imperfections, but
the sponge absorbs all of the excess product.
Revlon
Lip Stain in New York Scene.
I wanted a red lip color that wasn’t in-your-face-red, but
still had good pigmentation. I love this product. Walmart was all out of them
so I actually made one of my friends drive to Target just so I could get my
lipgloss. Yeah, I know. My friends are pretty great :) I love how this lip
stain is highly pigmented and it is long lasting and the color is on-point.
Revlon
Nail Polish in 721 Raven Red.
I have been OBSESSED with burgundy lately and this nail
polish is no exception. I have a burgundy nail polish by Essie that I like, but
it’s more purple, while this one is more on the red side. Plus, it’s been on my
nails for a couple days and I have a job that is hands-on and my nails have not
chipped.
// FASHION
Forever
21 Plaid Scarves.
I have been looking for scarves like these all over the
place. I found ones like them at Aerie, but I wasn’t really for spending $30 on
one scarf. These scarves are super cute, as well as warm and comfy. They are
basically everything you would want in a scarf.
Aerie
Hoodie.
I have been wearing the crap out of this hoodie ever since
I got it for Christmas. I know, this isn’t an all month thing, but oh well. It’s
comfy, but if I need to go out of the house for something, it doesn’t look like
I’ve been a lazy butt all day.
// RANDOM
Cinnamon
Frosting White Barn Candle from B&B Works.
I’m pretty sure the first thing I did when I got back from
school for break was go to B&B Works to get a Christmas candle. This candle
is so perfect for me personally because I got a scent that combines what scents
my sister and I love—she loves cinnamon and I LOVE frosting. I just love
burning candles when I’m home. It makes everything feel so much cozier.
Jane the
Virgin.
I had seen commercials for this show and thought it was
going to be silly. But, I’m on break and I needed a show to watch (plus it had
been nominated for a Golden Globe) so I thought I’d give this one a go. So glad
I did. Oh my gosh. This show is so funny and ah its perf. Oh, and have you guys
ever seen that engagement video where the guy makes a bunch of movie scenes for
his girlfriend to watch as his proposal because he’s an actor/director? (If you
haven’t, please watch it. I know its long but its so worth it. And I’m warning
you, it might make you cry. A couple of my guy friends were crying watching it
:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVTr5MNa_8Y ) Well,
the guy who made that video is one of the main actors in Jane the Virgin which
is even more perfect. If you are looking for a new show to watch, I totally
recommend this. It’s on the CW and they have only gotten through nine episodes
so there’s time to catch up.
Once
Upon a Time.
Once I got through Jane the Virgin, I thought I’d catch up
with Once Upon a Time. I had stopped watching a year or two ago back in the
middle of season two, but I thought I’d give it another go. And I am soooo glad
I did. I am in love and obsessed with this show. And Emma and Hook are perf,
just saying. If you’ve never watched it, its on ABC and you can watch it on
Netflix.
Blank
Space / Style Mash-up.
I saw on twitter that Taylor Swift had tweeted about this
video and as soon as I listened, I fell in love with what they did with the
song. So good.
TheSkimm.
I am sooo busy at school and I realized that I had no idea
what was happening in the world. I found this email service and it’s so perfect
for what I need. Basically, the people take what’s happening in the news every
day and email you the shortened version in an easy-read format that’s very
informative. I love it because right now I’m reading it with my
breakfast/whenever I get up meal. When I’m back at school I can read it with my
breakfast and when I’m taking the bus to class. You can sign up at this
website: http://www.theskimm.com
SheReadsTruth
App.
I love this app. They have the Bible as well as reading
plans and devotionals, which are very well written and eye-opening. I don’t
know what else to write but get it. Seriously. Such a good app.
What were you guys’ favorites this month? Let me know in
the comments. :)
Thanks lovelies,
Kirsten
